Growing up happened in the blink of an eye. Were you not just five years old in Kindergarten stealing someone else’s favorite crayon? What about watching the new episodes of Pokémon when you were ten? Do you remember that crush you had when you were sixteen? Priorities are different but so are you. Here are ten times that will have you sitting back thinking “Damn, I’m an adult.”
1. When you are asked whether or not you have done your taxes…
What are these things you speak of? More money? Can I hire someone to do it for me?
2. When you realize Disney Channel sucks...
That’s So Raven. Even Stevens. Kim Possible. Thank you.
3. When you do not read the fine print of the apartment lease until after you sign it…
“Your soul is mine. Here is to the many service requests, rent statement mistakes and community emails you will get for the next fifteen months,” –xoxo apartment leasing specialists.
4. When a nap is no longer a punishment but a reward…
Oh, I have seven minutes and twenty five seconds to close my eyes. Goodbye, world.
5. When dinner is not waiting for you when you get home from work…
I could make a meal or I could eat a bag of chips. Same thing.
6. When your goal of the night is to find the cheapest bottle of wine you can…
You won’t even remember it was only three dollars once it is all gone.
7. When $1 tacos become the only tradition you care about…
Extra avocado, please.
8. When your school loan amount is more than what you make in a year…
I see poles, I see dollar bills.
9. When your parents tell you that you have to pay your own phone bill
That’s fine. No one texts me anyways.
10. When you start thinking about your high school reunion year down the road…
I have ten years to be a famous super model or become president. I’ll start my path tomorrow.
